It’s hard to believe that it’s been thirty years of Hakuna Matata already – but since the Disney Animated Classic The Lion King debuted in 1994, the catchphrase has been a pillar of the personal values upheld by Disney fans everywhere. It means no worries! Specifically, a Swahili phrase that’s popular in rural Kenya and Tanzania, it means to take life as it comes without sweating the small stuff!
Disney has been dedicated to infusing that carefree attitude into The Lion King franchise, from the messages portrayed through their iconic films to the designs they represent the film with on official merchandise and in the Disney Parks, so it only makes sense that for The Lion King’s 30th anniversary, and to celebrate the upcoming release of Mufasa, which tells the story of the legendary lion’s rise to power over the African savanna, Disney showcases their carefree spirit with a new line of products to help get even the most tightly-wound fans into that laid-back, Hakuna Matata mindset!
Partnering with major brands like LEGO, Pandora, BoxLunch, and LoungeFly, these new items all have unique, eye-catching designs that perfectly capture the essence of The Lion King and its beautiful animation.
The [LEGO Simba Building Set For Adults] and the [LEGO Simba Building Set for Kids] are both currently available for sale on the LEGO store site!
And you can check out the full line of The Lion King 30th Anniversary apparel and accessories on [BoxLunch’s Site] as well!
This new line of Lion King merch is perfect for the lion in your life, from kids’ toys and collectibles (because let’s be real here, we all know LEGO is just as fun when you’re an adult getting to build your favorite characters!), to apparel and jewelry, to highly-sought-after LoungeFly backpacks and collectible accessories! And with Christmas right around the corner – and Mufasa taking center stage on the silver screen – there’s never been a better time to embrace the spirit of Hakuna Matata than right now!
These designs and more can be found on [LoungeFly’s webstore!] And with free shipping on $65+ and a Merry Mystery option to add to every order for as little as 5 dollars, there’s never been a better time to indulge and buy that dream design for you or a loved one! (I should know! I bought one last week!)
These pandora charms and more are available on their website, and can be found [here]! These beautiful pieces can be bought individually or as a set, and while buying each charm and the bracelet individually might run you a cool 508 dollars plus tax, you can rest assured that these pieces are all of the highest quality, plated with 14K gold and upheld to Pandora’s exceptional standards of every day jewelry. While the bracelet and the charms are all one-size-fits-all, the ring does come sized, with 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8.5, and 9’s available for purchase, so be sure you know your ring size before you buy!
Mufasa is set to release in theaters nationwide on December 20th, 2024 – be sure to catch this new chapter of an iconic story, and don’t forget: Asante sana, squash banana, wewe nugu, mimi hapana!
